Away We Go!

About This Movie

So, here we have 'Away We Go!' from 1996, directed by an unknown hand yet feels really fun and warm. It’s a family musical that drags you along on a journey through different modes of travel, led by Newt, this charming puppet. The music, crafted by Jonathan Larson and Bob Golden, resonates with a playful energy, perfect for kids but with enough wit that adults can enjoy too. The pacing is breezy, keeping the little ones engaged without losing their interest. The practical effects and puppetry give it that unique flair, setting it apart from other animated fare of its time. It’s an interesting piece, and you can sense Larson's touch throughout.

This title is quite rare in collector circles, with its original VHS release often fetching higher prices due to its limited availability. There are some DVD versions floating around, but they tend to lack the charm of the original tape. Collectors appreciate the unique combination of Larson's musical style and Golden's composition, making it a notable entry in the realm of children's entertainment. The handmade puppetry adds a nostalgic layer that many find appealing as well.
